Focus on Pedagogical Content Knowledge

You will demonstrate pedagogical content knowledge by developing an instructional plan that addresses the content knowledge of your specialization with the appropriate pedagogical strategies to build learners’ comprehension of the knowledge and skills of the selected state and national standards. This plan should not only demonstrate pedagogical content knowledge of your specialization, but it should also include the integration of technology, the use of collecting/analyzing data, and consideration of diverse populations in the given class for which it is designed. Community and school resources and collaboration with parents, community leaders, and other professionals should be included where appropriate.

The instructional plan that you develop in this course will prepare you to complete the Instructional Plan Major Assessment for your MSED Program. This Instructional Plan Template is based on the template you will use to complete your major assessment.

    The teaching and learning cycle (A. Gravells, Edition 5 PTLLS p10/11) is a continuous cycle that can start at any stage, however all stages must be addressed for teaching and learning to be effective.

These cross-curricular links were important for our class activity from sourcing the materials needed, to who would look after them and estimating their eventual height.

    Before embarking upon this assignment I asked myself “Do I really know and understand why I teach the way I do”? It never crossed my mind until I realised that in some classes I found myself having to rethink and change my delivery methods so as to engage the younger students who didn’t always grasp what I had to say. To be honest, my previous experience of teaching delivery and development had been at the higher education level where participating students were focused and had little or no problem areas relating to their academic, I realise that I must relearn how to teach because the profile of the F.E. student has changed dramatically. My area of expertise is in Joinery & Carpentry studies which involves a great deal of practical delivery sessions at basic level to groups of 14 – 16 & 16-19 year old students of mixed abilities.…
